Abstract: As office workers spend most of their time in front of computer monitors, they are at the risk of suffering from forward head posture syndrome. Repeated head forward postures may cause cervical discs. To address a precautionary approach for the syndrome, we propose a pervasive system. The purpose of this article is to identify design issues in pervasive computing when applied to forward head syndrome, which can give designers insights into how people interacts with the pervasive service and help shape a future research direction to cover those findings.
Keywords: Pervasive system, head posture, syndrome, pattern, prototype
